Payne had been nabbed in Atlanta October 2015 after she was caught allegedly shoplifting a pair of $700 earrings from the Saks Fifth Avenue in Phipps Plaza.

She was out on bond for that case when she was arrested and charged with stealing, again, in December 2016 in Dunwoody. She allegedly tried to steal a $1,995 diamond necklace from a Von Maur jewelry store at Perimeter Mall. Payne was released on a $15,000 bond in that case and ordered not to travel outside the state of Georgia.

Payne's crimes have made her something of a celebrity among thieves. In fact, she was the subject of a documentary, “The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne,” now on Netflix.

In a jailhouse interview with The Desert Sun in May 2014, Payne said she began stealing watches to save her mother from an abusive relationship, but continued into her golden years so she could live a glamorous lifestyle—a far cry from her childhood of poverty in West Virginia.
